Straight to the point – the information you need about braces

When you get braces in North West London at Aura Dental, you will be giving yourself the gift of a dental procedure that can have life changing benefits in terms of your confidence and your ability to smile without hesitation. It is also likely to be good for your general oral health as straight teeth are easier to take care of.

What do braces do?

When you visit Aura Dental, we can give you as much detail as you want about the process of fitting and having your braces in North West London at our clinic. Some people find it fascinating to know how braces work and how this knowledge helps us recommend the right system for you.

Braces move the teeth by applying pressure via wires and brackets or aligners. Each of these tools applies a different amount of force and can be used to achieve different effects. What remains the same however, is that over time the teeth will begin to move in the direction of the force and the way that the body achieves this means that at no time do the teeth become loose. The move happens gradually and very slowly.

When the treatment is over, the teeth are stable in their new positions after around ten to twelve months. During this period you will need to wear a retainer but often this is only at night.

What can we offer?

We offer some great dental brands through our practice.

Six Month Smiles is a system of clear and tooth coloured brackets and wires that focus on the teeth that are visible when you smile to get you to the result you want in a short amount of time.

Invisalign are clear aligners that fit snug over the teeth meaning they are virtually invisible.

We also offer other brands such as Inman Aligner and Cfast for you to explore as well as some non-orthodontic options that you might like to consider for minor issues.

Our wide range means you have the freedom to choose the best option for you or a member of your family. We look forward to offering you the choice of braces in North West London.
